SAN ANTONIO -- A couple from Eagle Pass is behind bars in San Antonio after police say they beat up a woman and tried to steal her car Sunday.

Investigators said one of the suspects, an 18-year-old woman, approached the victim in a parking lot near the Walmart store at Loop 1604 and Nacogdoches and asked if she could use the victim's cell phone. When victim said she didn't have one, the woman threw a tire iron, hitting the victim as she sat in her car. The woman then began beating the victim and tried to get her out of the vehicle. A 21-year-old man who was with the woman then approached, pulled the victim from her car, threw her to the ground, and then forced her into the trunk of her car. The woman jumped into the driver's seat of the victim's car and drove off, with the man following in a truck. Police say that victim's quick thinking helped her escape.

"The complainant acted quickly and found the trunk release in her, inside her vehicle MORE

More Bell employees earned huge salaries, city says [Updated]
Los Angeles Times
August 6, 2010 | 4:00 pm

The Bell salary scandal grew Friday when the city acknowledged that more city workers received high salaries, including two who made more than $400,000 a year and three who made more than $200,000.

Bell's interim city manager, Pedro Carrillo, announced the salaries at a news conference Friday, vowing that it was "a new day" for Bell. He said the city attorney would immediately launch a salary study to insure that salaries are commensurate with experience and the area. Several activists disrupted the news conference, furious at the new revelations.

"We will take some very firm and bold moves," Carrillo said. "It could mean termination or reduction."

The lavish salaries released Friday show that that at least seven additional city employees – beyond the top three administrators reported by The Times – were making more than the average city manager in Los Angeles County. Among the highly paid are the director of administrative services, $422,707; director of general services, $421,402; the director of community services, $273,542; business development coordinator, $295,627; and a police captain earning $238,075. The names of the employees were not immediately released. MORE

The Cruz and Casales family had a successful plate sale on Sunday, August 1, at 908 Ceylon for long time school teacher and coach Enrigue Casales. Mr. Casales thanked all those who helped in this effort and deeply appreciated the help from our community.
